CWe hope7!l To the other faculty members, we leave the echoes of our voices and the shouts of laughter in the halls. To the students who are to take our places, we would like to leave these valued possessions: To Chick Young we leave the good all-round football playing of Jack Lane and Badger Clark. To next year's biology classes we bequeath the brains of Billy Harris and Donald Seifert to disect. lWhat makes them tick'??J To Oflie Lockemy we confer Tom Cat Harris' friendliness.
